Sorry Shiv you cannot. Do it otherwise they get nipple confused. But anyhow a baby can go 3 days without milk the first few days. I breastfed. But even here they get very pushy about it. ( I used to call them the breastfeed Maffia)

Here women give birth at home most times. Then a special nurse comes and helps you for at least a week. Because new moms never know how to handle a baby.
